SBTG x Asics Gel Kayano 14 Monsoon Patrol White

The Asics Gel Kayano 14 running shoe brings a fresh perspective to the classic retro running shape, drawing inspiration from the late 2000s aesthetic while paying homage to the esteemed GEL-KAYANO® series. This iteration represents a significant evolution, as it marks the first time in the sneaker's history that someone other than Toshikazu Kayano has led the design process. Despite this change, the shoe remains true to the franchise's core values while introducing modern updates to its performance capabilities. Retaining the original midsole tooling with GEL® technology cushioning, this version of the GEL-KAYANO® ensures a comfortable and supportive ride. The upper has been refined to improve fit, while still featuring the layered leather and mesh construction reminiscent of the 2008 model. Additionally, sustainability is a key focus, with the sockliner crafted using a solution dyeing process that significantly reduces water usage and carbon emissions, aligning with contemporary environmental standards. Overall, the GEL-KAYANO® 14 not only celebrates the legacy of the series but also pushes the boundaries of performance and sustainability, setting a new standard for future iterations.
